'Bizarre' Natalie Harp saga takes a wild turn amid rumors: 'Should be prosecuted'

A political analyst was flabbergasted on Thursday after the strange saga between Natalie Harp and President Donald Trump took a bizarre turn.

Reports indicate that Harp, whom some have referred to as Trump's "human binky," refused to get a security clearance for over a year until Trump personally intervened. That's despite Harp having close access to the president and relaying messages from foreign leaders to him.

Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist, was floored by the reports and reacted in a new video on his YouTube channel.

"She should be held and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Nellis said, describing their saga as "bizarre." "We know that Donald Trump's [Department of Justice] isn't going to do that. Instead, they're going to keep harassing private citizens like yours truly, Don Lemon, and many others, which is ridiculous in and of itself."

Harp has been reportedly infatuated with Trump after she received an experimental cancer treatment that saved her life. The aide credited Trump for saving her life by allowing the experimental drug into the marketplace. Since then, she has reportedly written Trump several intimate and personal letters and was even seen jumping into the trunk of a car to attend a court hearing with the president.

Harp's brother, Preston Harp, has called his sister's infatuation with the president "unhealthy" and urged her to "wake up" in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett this week.
